Bandai will also release standalone DX Desire Drivers, for anyone that wants to display the different ID Cores without having to purchase extras of the original set

Huh, neat. Is it going to have all the same electronics, just not come with the ID and the Magnum Boost buckles?

Correct, same build as the DX

But it?s only the driver, no belt straps. That?s why they announced that aforementioned belt set concurrently

Don't think we got a follow-up about this earlier, but this makes sense now why the belt for Geats is not interchangeable with the belts from previous drivers. I'm guessing Bandai wanted to put out their own CSM-style extended belt and not have to compete with the current third-party ones that fit all the previous drivers. Either way, I guess it's nice that we'll hopefully have an official option readily available from here on.

The Revolve Change Figure Command Form Set has been delayed from January 28 to February 11. Talk about laziness.

What do you mean laziness?

It doesn't explicitly say so in the description, but the form factor strongly suggests that at least half the Laser Raise Riser can function as a Raise Buckle in the Desire Driver. If so, that could make not just this toy, but also the Vision Driver a little more relevant, since it otherwise seems like of like a non-sequitur in a line that's revolved around Raise Buckles.

Looks like we got the 4th release in the Geats RCF line and it's a nicer painted Geats with the fever parts included.

Kinda funny they're only doing a Fever release now -- I'm a bit annoyed it only comes with one fever buckle and scarf though. I hope that's not an indication of how SHF will do it...

So it looks we're getting more P-Bandai items from Geats and this time it's the sound ID core sets. Seems like there's a spring activated button on these ID cores to get them to say some lines from the characters. Also you get the desire card for each character too. On the bright side I guess this is another way to get a Tycoon ID core assuming you didn't get the dx campaign version or have someone 3D print one for you.
